Use Nikon 5100 as a webcam

[Sorenson]

Problem: I'm teaching classes virtually and I don't have a webcam for my desktop (they are all sold out). I've been having to run zoom on my phone and desktop at the same time to get through the lessons. 

 

Question: I want to set up my Nikon D5100 as a webcam for as cheap as possible. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to set this up. I've seen sparkocam looks like a good option, but the licence is $40.

If you have an Android, you can use Droidcam. It's not the best quality but it's free and works pretty much perfectly
